Overview

We venture a little further afield for this undulating walk exploring the hills and vales of the Chilterns between Chesham and Chartridge. The route crosses parallel valleys, climbing up and descending to the bottom of each and returning through Lowdnes Park. Option to detour to view the groundworks of an iron age fort, which will add c. 1.25 miles to the walk. Spectacular valley views across open countryside.
